When I picked up a version of the Dhammapada (Parallax Press) and read through I came across an interesting verse in this specific book it was Chapter 24: Craving . Forgive me for not knowing the verses, I'm new to the text.
The verse says:
> A man will be swept along
> By the thirty-six streams of sensual pleasure,
> Borne on the strong currents
> Of his craving toward tempting objects.
What are the 'thirty-six' streams of sensual pleasure? Is it some arbitrary enumeration, or is there some further writings detailing the 'thirty-six' streams of sensual pleasure?
